28 Days Later... Where does one start to describe the mind blowing movie that is 28 days later? This movie from top to bottom, may be one of the best movies to date, and if you want to say horror movies, then this movie also reigns supreme.
Danny Boyle certainly knows how to direct a movie, and it is clearly shown in his depiction of the end of well... England as we know it. He never pushes the movie too far, but he knows where he can push, and he has done the perfect job, often showing just what cinema and drama should be.
The lead actor Cillian Murphy does a great job playing a confused and troubled human as he stumbles upon a series of events that will forever change his and his friends lives. Naomie Harris also does an extraordinary job playing the tough woman who believes the world is all evil, nothing is everything and everything is nothing, though everything crumbles to pieces.
Silly or arrogant people can watch this film, skip over the serious and depressing parts of this movie, choosing to only concentrate on the violent parts of the movie, then later describing it as just a horror movie. This movie goes beyond being a horror movie, it is one of the most heart wrenching dramas I have ever seem. This movie clearly depicts not only the end of the world, but the true rising of the good of man, and tells a story like no other, this may be the only movie I believe that is totally unique, a movie that could not be re-done, because of its unique quality, everything is just so damn original.
28 Days later is one of my favorite films, and I own two copies of the movie. I love every bit of it, and if you are reading this trying to decide if its worth the rent, please rent it and watch it with an open mind, because you may just be surprised.
As many movies do though, it left me wanting more greatness, and 28 Weeks later (the obvious sequel) has a release date for May 11th 2007, and I cannot wait to see it. I pray it is half as good as the first, because if it is even half as good, it will still be well worth the buy.
